About this title

Synopsis

In contract bridge, an overcall is a bid made after an opening bid was made by an opponent; the term refers only to the first such bid. A direct overcall is a bid made directly over a bid by right-hand opponent; an overcall in the 'last seat' (made over a bid by left-hand opponent and two subsequent passes) is often referred to as a balancing overcall. A natural overcall denotes length and strength in the suit bid. Conventional overcalls, such as Michaels cuebid, Unusual notrump and Raptor, denote specific hand types. In most bidding systems, natural and artificial, overcalls in unbid suits are natural. Notrump overcalls at the 1-level normally indicate 15-18 points in a balanced hand, with at least one stopper in opponent's suit.
